Chen Jin had a rough idea of the history of the mysterious ancient Eastern country through the information in the database of the artificial intelligence Alice.
The history of the ancient Eastern country, compared to the history of the Z country on Earth, could be said to have changed beyond recognition.
The biggest divergence was after Wang Mang, who was suspected to be a time-traveler, succeeded in usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty. He successfully implemented a series of reforms. A new dynasty that was several times stronger than the Han Dynasty stood for more than 500 years.
At its peak, the new dynasty had a territory of more than 30 million square kilometers. Tens of thousands of states surrendered to it. It had countless affiliated countries and a population of more than 100 million. It had entered the era of firearms in advance. It even sent out millions of troops to conquer Europe and became an empire that never fell.
It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the unification of the entire planet was completed.
But …
The inertia of history was always so strong.
No matter how vast the empire's territory was, as long as the backward feudal system was not changed and the supreme imperial power was not restricted, it would never be able to walk out of the cycle of prosperity and decline.
All it would take was a ridiculous emperor to destroy all the previous efforts, causing the empire to fall apart and fall into a state of disintegration and war.
The new dynasty could not escape this ending.
Later, there were "Zhou," "Zhao," "Tang," "Kang," "Ning," and other great unified dynasties. The duration of the country hovered around 300 years.
The last dynasty was "Da Hua." Due to the implementation of a constitutional monarchy, the establishment of a parliament, and the delegation of power to the people, this dynasty continued to exist.
Similarly, due to the lack of emphasis on scientific education and the lack of emphasis on the application of technology, after the start of the second industrial revolution, faced with the rapid rise of the West, Da Hua lost a large number of overseas colonies, and its territory shrank by 30%. It lost more than it won in foreign wars, and was even attacked by the armored fleets of the foreigners, forcing them to sign a humiliating treaty.
Then came the reform, the abolition of the imperial examinations, the implementation of a constitutional monarchy, and the suppression of rebellions everywhere. After 30 years of difficult progress, the reform achieved initial success and the national strength was greatly enhanced.
With the advantage of a huge population.
After the outbreak of the second and third world wars, Da Hua did not suffer much. Instead, it recovered a large number of colonies and firmly dominated the East.
Together with the United States that dominated the Mi continent and the Red Empire led by the proletariat, they formed the three poles of the world, forming a stable triangular relationship.
There was cooperation and competition between them. Coupled with the existence of nuclear deterrence, these three great powers coexisted for nearly 300 years.
In the end, they perished together.
"So … the Hua Nation on the other side of this planet is a constitutional monarchy with a long history and a more splendid culture. It is far more powerful and powerful than the Z nation on Earth."
Phew ~
Chen Jin sighed. In this life, he had no regrets about entering the Huaxia Empire. In his next life, he would be reborn as a farmer. This was also his belief. He had never worshiped the moon of a foreign country.
But if he had a choice, he would rather vote for China! He wanted to live in her most glorious era, or in her most turbulent era, to make up for his regrets and establish a great cause!
Although Da Hua had experienced setbacks and downfalls in recent history, they had also risen and fought back. No matter how much blood was shed, they had never truly compromised with the strange races!
More importantly, after the Xin Dynasty, the following dynasties were all dominated by the Chinese. Nomadic foreigners had never stood on the stage.
In other words, since the day gunpowder weapons were invented, the divine weapons of the Nine Continents had never been given a chance to be used by the foreign races.
This was an uninterrupted and pure Chinese nation. She had left behind countless excellent and splendid cultures.
Her architecture was generous and graceful, exquisite and lively, yet dignified and restrained.
Her literature was full of artistic conception, neat rhymes, flexible and varied, and full of creativity.
Her calligraphy, painting, song and dance, drama, medicine, culture and customs … all formed a system of their own. There was a clear difference from the West.
She had her strengths, but also her flaws. She would not forcibly distinguish herself from other cultures. But if Chen Jin had to choose, he would prefer this culture that was born and bred here. It influenced his three views in every aspect.
He liked the excellent parts of her, but he would also criticize the bad parts.
But no matter what, he loved this country and her culture … It had nothing to do with any ruling class.
Therefore, after the UAV fleet entered the territory of the Ancient Eastern Country, Chen Jin stared at the virtual projection. He looked at the pictures and information sent back by the UAV, intoxicated and obsessed.
"That stone platform is at least 300 meters high, right? And it was built on the Pamir Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters high. It is said that Wang Mang ordered people to build it. It is located in the western region. He used hundreds of thousands of slaves and took 15 years to build it. But due to the delay in the construction, Wang Mang was already dead by the time it was completed.
"Ancient city walls and square-shaped courtyard houses. Many residential areas are like this. It seems like the Chinese people of this world don't like to live in concrete and concrete buildings. They prefer wooden buildings."
A large number of maglev high-speed railways, densely packed highways, bridges with extremely large spans, and a super water conservancy project that transformed the entire northwest desert into fertile land … The Chinese of this world are also crazy about infrastructure. "
"Hey ~ The UAV has already scanned hundreds of cities. Except for one big city that was destroyed, the other cities are all perfectly preserved. The missile defense system has blocked most of the attacks … It is indeed like the old saying, 'The first to strike gains the advantage, and the last to strike suffers'."
"But there are still no traces of survivors, or rather, not even a shadow. According to Alice, during the nuclear winter, the area above 23 degrees north and south latitude will be extremely cold. Crops will not be able to grow, and it is not suitable for human survival. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be survivors in the northern part of China. There may be a large number of survivors in the colonies and affiliated countries in the tropics … There will not be many survivors in China."
The UAV formation could safely penetrate deep into the hinterland of China.
In five days, more than one-third of China, which had a territory of 15 million square kilometers, was roughly scanned.
They found 213 intact cities.
As for what "treasures" were in these cities, Chen Jin was not too concerned for the time being. What he was most concerned about was whether there were any survivors.
But even after more than one-third of the area had been scanned, the highly sensitive "life detector" on the Golden Eagle UAV still did not detect any traces of life.
In other words, no survivors were found.
This made Chen Jin slightly relieved. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the survivors in China are all dead?"
Or have they all run to the tropics to seek refuge?
Chen Jin did not dare to say with certainty. He only let the UAV formation continue to penetrate deeper and continue to explore southeast.
Suddenly!
"Master, the Rainbow Wings UAV has received an unfamiliar radio signal!"
"The signal is a commonly used broadcast band. The frequency lasts for more than 5 seconds, and the source is from the southeast."
"This is a kind of artificial radio broadcast. It uses complex encryption. I can guess that part of it means' find XX '. It repeats a total of three times."
"Master, the survivor forces … may exist."
Alice said with a solemn face.
